Dear all.

I have a dataset concerning accidents involving two vehicles that I have
in two formats, wide and long like this:

long:

Accidentnr      vehiclenr       weight  cost
1               0               1000            35000
1               1               1500            150000
2               0               1200            150000
2               1               1700            750000

wide:

Accidentnr      weight0 weight1 cost0           cost1
1               1000            1500            35000           150000
2               1200            1700            150000  750000

Now I whould like to transform the data to a long format but with
information also concering the other vehicle involved in each accident
like this:

Accidentnr      vehiclenr       ownweight       othersweight    owncost
otherscost
1               0               1000            1500
35000           150000
1               1               1500            1000
150000  35000
2               0               1200            1700
150000  750000
2               1               1700            1200
750000  150000

Any suggestions on how this can be done?

Best Regards

Lina Jonsson
